Learning Pottery and Painting during your Holiday

by mariahardy

If you like to learn something new or improve your craft then take a holiday in Port Isaac, England. Daily free classes are held in pottery and art.

Classes in Pottery and Art

Potter Jon Witten and owner of Hale Farm ([email protected]) has converted a 18th-century stone building into a cottage and named it Pottery Cottage. It is a detached building with two bedrooms and oak flooring. The  surrounding glorious country side and the views are inspiring for the art class. There is also a pottery class. Both classes are held daily.

The courses are free, including materials and aprons. They are held from November to March. Guests can rent the cottage for seven nights from £387 and for three nights from £271. It is big enough for up to four people and self catering. The Golden Lion Pub serves a pint and good pasties. The pub is along the quay where you can sit and watch the world go by.  The nearby Padstow is definitely worth a visit.  At Watergate Bay and Newquay you experience the great surfing beaches.

As you see a holiday with a difference can be great fun and an unforgettable experience.. So much to do and to see that you will not be bored.

 

POTTERY TOOL SET

Pottery is a fascinating hobby and could also turn into a small money spinner. However, when you start, like I did, it is impossible to know what to do and which tools to buy. This set is a perfect selection for beginners. Furthermore, it comes in a handy vinyl pouch with a zip. All this is offered at very acceptable reduced price. $5.00

The next set is for advanced students who would like to do artistic pattern on their pottery. It is a 11-pc set and as you can see shaped on both sites.  It would be an ideal present for a student who mastered the basic pottery. It is also offered at a reduced price of $6.06.

POTTERY WHEEL WHALLMONKEYS PEEL AND STICK WALL DECALS

The next tool to puchase is a pottery wheel but the most important tool is the WallMonkeys Peel and Stick Wall Decals for a size of a potter wheel of 48"W x 32"H. This pottery wheel peel and stick is of the highest quality. Believe you me it makes a vast difference. It makes the work easier and you produce a quality pottery.  The quality of the WallMonkeys wall graphics are printed on a re-positionable, self-adhesive fabric paper. To make sure the high quality is maintained they are printed in-house. It will be only made on-demand to avoid deterioration when it would be stored. Even with the highest quality the price is reasonable at $77.99

DREMEL 545 DIAMOND WHEEL

This rotary wheel is a must if you want to carve, cut, sawing, sharpening and filing.off hard material. It has such a high quality it can be used  on a great variety of material. Such as marble, concrete, brick, ceramic and porcelain. This would enable you to extent your ambition and try various other materials. Again for the high quality it comes at a more than reasonble price of $12.09 which was also reduced.
